Voluntary Action Rutland (VAR) has been running our community transport and social car scheme continuously for over 43 years. We regularly cover 150,000 miles of driving, undertaking thousands of separate journeys, to hospitals and appointments in the wider LLR area. We also provide transport and community vehicles for shorter trips, shopping and social gatherings throughout the county and beyond.
Our voluntary and community transport offering is always in need of volunteers!
A leicestershire based charity reaching the most vulnerable across the East Midlands, including those with mental and physical challenges. We provide regular activities designed to help those wishing to improve their quality of life and also provide regular community support. Activities include singing cafes and tea party lunches. Anyone can access and being able to sing is not necessary. You don't have to be good at something for it to be good for you!
At Women 4 Change Leicester, we empower and uplift the most deprived, underrepresented women, men, young people in St. Matthews & surrounding areas. Founded by local mothers, we address critical community needs such as access to health, housing, education, and employment. We understand the unique challenges faced by our community, especially during crises like COVID-19 & the cost-of-living crisis.
Our services include education, advocacy, language support, and connections to essential resources through partnerships with health providers, police, and other statutory services.
